    Just had a chance to look at today's (23 March 16) posts. Absolutely incredible. Everything that one would ever expect to see on a chat room board was present, inter alia: Sky falling in the morning. "Down rampers" / shorters(?) trying to push it down further. Doomsters gloating as to how their predictions had come true. Legal case to break company. Ferrero entering the US. Long term holders lamenting their loses but still (just) had the faith. Supporters still supporting but with not as much conviction as in the past. Bagging management skills and their communication. Doubting angry birds strategy. Questioning new manufacturer.

    Share price down 10% at 58c.

    Wham! Two announcements.

    Legal case not as bad as expected. New tier one account - not even market sensitive these days - yawn another major client.

    New posts:
    Silence from the down rampers. Silence from the doomsters. Long term holders lamenting they didn't top up at 58c. Salt rubbed in the wounds of those who sold at 58c. Posters morning quotes returned with interest..... Yow to takeover the world.

    End of day all good - shares up 10% (and 20% off low of day).

    If any one ever wants to do a PHD in Chatroom poster's emotions and interactions, they should looks at today's YOW posts. It had everything. Couple of year's research in one place.

    As for me - I will sit back and see what happens. Thanks to all posters - research on the ground is great insight and the opinion - both "negative" and 'positive" - is appreciated. Always good to hear both sides of a story.

    GLTAH, DYOR, NFA etc.

    Cheers,
